I've already made a couple posts on my truck dilemma and I know what it can't do but I haven't quite figured out what it can do. According to my manual it's "payload" is 12,000 lbs (truck, trailer and cargo) with a max 700 lb tongue wt.
Your payload is what your truck can carry, not "tow". Trailers and fifth wheels transfer part of its own weight to your truck taking up the payload. I have seen some of your posts but was not able to see if you calculated your payload. Make sure you do not have that nomenclature confused.
Once you have that you can move forward. There are tools here that can help you calculate what you can tow with your payload.
